"Can the machine feel the music ?" - yes !
OX is a smart audio reactive DJ stage powered by AudioReact
OX is a co-creation between Romain Tardy and Hand Coded , produced by Tetro for The Absolut Company Creation.
This DJ stage is made of moving LED structures and has the special capacity of making decisions on its own. The machine uses real-time machine learning to decide WHAT is going to be displayed, WHEN, and HOW, depending on what the DJ is doing. It is a semi-generative music art system. Semi? Yes, because it has to respect what the artist has designed and decided, and control the quality of the final display.
OX was built to be easy to transport, install and uninstall. It has been touring in over 15 venues around France in the past 9 months and is still on the road.
